In the classic silent comedy We Faw Down, Laurel and Hardy attempt to sneak away from their wives for a poker night, only to find themselves in a series of escalating mishaps with two women they meet along the way.
The Adams Hotel vs. The Culver Hotel
Fans often ask: Where was We Faw Down filmed? A major landmark in the film was the Adams Hotel, which once stood on the northeast corner of Main Street and Culver Blvd. While that building is gone, this Quick Preview Video focuses on the beautifully preserved scenes filmed at Van Buren Place and Washington Blvd.
This area offers stunning views of the historic Culver Hotel, an iconic landmark that looks much as it did when Stan and Ollie filmed in its shadow nearly a century ago.
